Perspectives: Quiet

Can you see the horns?

What would motivate a person to have all of these horns on his or her car? Why would you do that? I can't image that the owner of this car wants to move through life quietly.

Sometimes I hear myself talking and I wonder why I'm speaking at all. The situation calls for me to be quiet, and yet I keep speaking. Have you ever experienced that?

Sometimes what God is calling us to do is to serve quietly - so that no one notices us. At times our service should be all that another person sees. Sometimes our purpose is best served by saying nothing at all. Sometimes the best way we can love is to listen.

Where can you listen this week? Where can you serve quietly?
